    Food and service were great. The experience was spoilt by a drunken table of 8 immediately next us, who couldn’t speak at a reasonable volume. The customers at the neighbouring tables were all exchanging frustrated glances. When we complained to the staff, the response was effectively: ‘i know but what can I do’, as if telling the rabble to take it down a level wasn’t an option. It’s a shame, but true to English form, whilst our on site Feedback to staff was positive, we won’t go back

    I can't recommend The Ninth enough! The food was delicious and very reasonably priced, and our waiter provided exceptional service—he was kind and accommodating to our large group, offering great recommendations. We devoured all the appetizers so quickly that we couldn't get a picture, and my sea bass main course was spectacular. Overall, I would give it a 10/10—definitely a must-visit for anyone in London!

    Absolutely wonderful restaurant. Delicious lunch set menu (the pain perdu is divine!) and fabulous wine pairings. The service though is what really set it apart- we were with my 10 month old baby and the team couldn’t have been kinder or more welcoming and helpful. It was a really lovely experience.

    Worst restaurant among which I dined for hundreds of others in London. Terrible food, outdated decorations, expensive prices, ugly layouts etc. How can this kind of low restaurant be ranked as Michelin star. It’s ridiculous!

    Went to the The Ninth to celebrate my partner's birthday. Food though very small was quite delicious.. size made the experience more underwhelming than it should have been given how good the food was. Service from the waiters that evening was good. Ordered a grilled seabass and got what looked a crumbed frozen fish from a carton.. like i said, delicious but surprising. I'd included a note in my reservation to ask for anything special to be done for my partner's birthday (called in advance to confirm). When we got to the door and confirmed our reservation, the welcoming waitress wished me (and not my partner) a happy birthday.. that was it. No small dessert HBD like other places. Disappointing.
